AML Policy

1. AML & Compliance

Satchel sets up the group of policies and procedures in order to actively pursue the detection and prevention of money laundering and any activity that facilitates money laundering or funding of terrorist or criminal activities or such acts designed to conceal or disguise the true origins of criminally derived proceeds so that unlawful proceeds appear to have been derived from legitimate sources or constitute legitimate assets.

Criminals turn money made from drug business, smuggling or arms trafficking into legal by using false identities or taking the names of innocent people.
